[NUKE9.13]

This just in: CYOGTCG publisher "SOUL" goes broke. Analysts suggest this is due to the price of printing a full novel for each of Tim's cards.

The first card he drew is almost unreadable.

[TricMagic]

Spoiler: Original Text before the Nerfwars (click to show/hide)

"[Nonsurprise] [Unique] Permanently Soul Link this card to a Lina Inverse. It gains these effects: If Soul Linked, gain 20 Attack/Hearts and 9 Star Cost. Ignore other cards' effects. Deal 10 damage to a card at the start of your turn, after which banish all cards in the discard pile(s), and flip all banished cards facedown."

As it's played at end of my turn, I don't have any turn left, I would guess.

[notquitethere]

Tric, just to be crystal clear, do I have your permission to take my turn, or are you waiting for a ruling?

[Supernerd]

I would indeed rule that the banishment of the card would occur before the end of your turn, thus a card that was banished by Life in our hands would not be in your hand at the time you play the card at the end of your turn.

[notquitethere]

That makes complete sense, but doesn't the Lina Inverse that got banished put a second Lina Inverse into Tric's hand from his deck?

(Not to be too much of a grouch about it, but this would be a lot easier if Tric would be a bit clearer when reporting the sequence of events, especially when using complex card effects.)

[TricMagic]

... Uh, more meant the fact it has the agile effect. Lina's still in my hand. Spiraling got banished.

In this case it's a card with agile being played at the end of a turn. Question is if it can make an attack, or if turn just ends. I think it's the latter.

Go ahead NQT.

(Probably. revealed Lina, and in text said Spiraling got banished rather than just put another image up. And no, even if Lina was one of those cards before the nerf, the effect occurs on play?)

[notquitethere]

Ok thank you. I start my turn and draw a card.

You have committed the deadly sin of Sloth



Because you didn't attack last turn (Slothful play!), Sloth has agility.

Prudence and Sloth attack your Spiralling Light, wiping it out.

Hearts: 20
Stars: 1

Field: Prudence 1a/2h, Sloth 2a/2h
Discard:
Banished:
Sins Tim has committed: Sloth

[TricMagic]

"Spiraling Light's effect activates, giving me two stars. I'll use one of them to play Naga the Serpent."

"Try and assign sin, and be punished. Graywords attacks Sloth!"

Tim
Hearts: 15
Stars: 1
Hand: 6
Field: Zelgadiss Graywords: 2 Attack, 1/3 Hearts, Naga the Serpent 2 Attack, 4 Hearts
Discard: Spiraling Light
Banished: 3 Facedowns. (1 Spiraling Light)

[Supernerd]

With the sole exception of the effect that reveals a card to the opponent when it enter the hand, No cards that TricMagic has played or revealed so far have any effect that would take place without the card actually being played.

[notquitethere]

I draw a card and play a card:



While this is a somewhat inefficient use while I only have one card on the field, but given you only have cards with 2 attack, and this would bump my other card up to 3 health, I think it's worth doing.

Prudence kills Zelgadiss Graywords, taking two damage itself.

Belbez
Hearts: 20
Stars: 0
Hand: 5
Field: Prudence 1a/1h, Fortitude 2/4
Discard:
Banished:

[TricMagic]

"I gain a star. I think I'll put a stop to any ideas. Blast Ash!"

Fortitude destroyed. "Next Naga will attack your last card, Prudence!"

Tim
Hearts: 15
Stars: 2
Hand: 6
Field: Naga the Serpent 2 Attack, 3/4 Hearts, 1 Star.
Discard: Spiraling Light, Zelgadiss Graywords, Blast Ash
Banished: 3 Facedowns. (1 Spiraling Light)

[notquitethere]

So you have both Amelia and Lina in your hand? If not, you need to amend that star count.

OK, I draw a card and play a card. It's more Prudence:



I look at the three cards and put two on the bottom. Your turn.

Belbez
Hearts: 20
Stars: 0

Field: Prudence 1,2

[TricMagic]

Amelia and Lina are both in hand yeah. Lina from Life in our Hands. (LioH currently in your hand.)

Draws, then reveals. A Spiraling Light.

"Another star, that's three. I call upon the princess to aid us."

"Naga attacks your Prudence, and at the end of the turn, Amelia heals her. Cooperation!"

Tim
Hearts: 15
Stars: 3
Hand: 6 (Lina Inverse, Conjugation of Dragon Slave!, Spiraling Light)
Field: Naga the Serpent 2 Attack, 4/4 Hearts, 1 Star. Amelia Wil Tesla Saillune: 0 Attack, 3/3 Hearts.
Discard: Spiraling Light, Zelgadiss Graywords, Blast Ash
Banished: 3 Facedowns. (1 Spiraling Light)


(I've got healing on the field. Nearly a first for CYOCGTCG.)

[notquitethere]

You were supposed to reveal Amelia when it first came into your hand. Please abide by these restrictions. Similarly, if "Conjugation of Dragon Slave" is a card that is meant to be revealed, you actually have to show it to me. I'm not yet omniscient.

OK, I draw a card and play a card:



Its effect doesn't trigger. Perhaps you might begin to see the theme of my deck, but if not, you soon will.

It's hardly worth playing a card, as your Amelia gives you indefinite board supremacy. For now.

See below line. Or this spoiler.

Spoiler: Hand (click to show/hide)

"With Naga arriving, I can play this. Nama the Tail, show yourself!"

"Naga strikes down Lust. She's the real deal here. Nama meanwhile will take advantage of her self, and attack directly!"

"Amelia heals Naga, and the Party is back to full."


Tim
Hearts: 15
Stars: 4
Hand: 6 (Lina Inverse, Conjugation of Dragon Slave!, Spiraling Light, Naga the Serpent)
Field: Naga the Serpent 2 Attack, 4/4 Hearts, 1 Star. Amelia Wil Tesla Saillune: 0 Attack, 3/3 Hearts. Nama the Tail: 3 Attack, 1 Heart.
Discard: Spiraling Light, Zelgadiss Graywords, Blast Ash
Banished: 3 Facedowns. (1 Spiraling Light)

(Not yet huh..)

"We'll be starting off. Prepare to face a magic never seen before. Draw!"

Spoiler: Hand (click to show/hide)

"To start us off, I'll be playing the Spiraling Light."

"At the end of each turn it gains a Star Counter, and for each it has it gains a heart."

Tim
Hearts: 20
Stars: 0
Hand: 5
Field: Spiraling Light 2 Hearts, 1 Star Counter
Discard:
Banished:

"Draw!" Tim looks at the card, then shows it.

Spoiler: Hand (click to show/hide)

"Well, looks like the keystone has shown up early. Suppose it's time to start playing with your life."

Spoiler: Rest of turn spoiler, see after resolving above effect (click to show/hide)

"I draw 5 cards, then banish 4 of them. And you get this card." Life in our Hands is thrown over to her opponent.

A Spiraling Light is banished facedown. "I lose 5 hearts, but can play one of the banished cards at the end of my turn. Specifically, Zelgadiss Graywords!"

"They gain 2 hearts, but lose 1 attack."

Probobly should shape up though.. Cloudy sleepy Friday as it is.
